        <text id="202111178e3426a4e86c4c0a90000755">I know that we have upgraded the ambulances themselves. The fleet obviously needs to go through a constant upgrade, and there has been some significant upgrade. With regard to that specific question, I am very happy to take that question on notice, speak to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing in the other place and come back to this house with a comprehensive answer.</text>
